Idiocracy is a 2006 American satirical science fiction comedy film directed by Mike Judge and starring Luke Wilson, Maya Rudolph, Dax Shepard, and Terry Crews.
The film tells the story of two people who take part in a top-secret
military hibernation experiment, only to awaken 500 years later in a dystopian society where advertising, commercialism, and cultural anti-intellectualism have run rampant and that is devoid of intellectual curiosity, social responsibility, and coherent notions of justice and human rights.

One of the greatest documentary films ever made in that it was made before the events it documented. A triumph of the human spirit.

This movie feels more like a documentary the more time passes by. I think if we don't take it seriously. I think later generation z, generation alpha and bata will suffer the most.

Idiocracy is the type of movie that was primarily made for giggles and laughs, but the idea of a future like that scares me, and the fact that this movie might be telling the truth.
An example is when Joe first wakes up in Frito's house and Frito is shown to be watching a very mediocre comedy show with a bunch of random and very flashy ads on the screen. This indicates that in that future, peoples' attention span along with their IQ has hit an all-time low. We can relate this to the current social media, where short content (Youtube shorts, reels and TikTok) has a certain genre of videos where a random Family Guy or South Park clip is playing on the top and a Subway Surfers or Minecraft playthrough at the bottom. This tells us that the attention span of young people (especially Gen Z and Kids who grow up with iPads) has rapidly been declining and those types of videos are made for them to keep on watching.
There are a few pacing issues and the logic sometimes doesn't make sense, but it was seriously ahead of its time.

Kinda mid otherwise, but I suppose that's the point of a comedy with this premise lol
I'm just annoyed it took Joe literally the entire movie to realized the "time machine" wasn't real, and he never even realized Rita wasn't a painter.
The green screen effects didn't age well, but the acting is good.
But hey, if you want an occasional laugh, this isn't bad.

Though it does require suspending disbelief on certain points. 1) If everyone has an IQ below Forrest Gump how do they keep the computer systems running (which are quite functional at spotting fugitives) 2)That Starbucks, Fuddruckers and Hardees will still be active chains in 500 years (ok they probably helped pay for the movie...) 3) That it would be such an awful place to live if everybody got laid so often. I think that may just be the untapped answer to World Peace. There seem to be no wars in this Dystopia

Well it did when it was released. I've no idea why. The premise was pure gold. It did quickly gain a huge cult following and is now its own meme. Little did Mike Judge know he was predicting a future. At least his wasn't quite as screwed up as where we are now.

So in Idiocracy we have a black President who's not concerned about being assassinated, who has a female Secretary of Defense -- and people listen to her. The President throws huge parties in which everyone is invited, and he steps aside for someone smarter to be President.
I think their world is better than the tRump White House.

Subject: mind over profit
the film deals in a humorous way with several intrinsically important issues: why we should not succumb to basic instincts only why we should not give up trying to do good things in our lives and why profit must not have the priority over quality of human life. i recommend the film by all means.
